Rent a cop here, good work doing armed security for local companies and local agencies that need "Security" but not a cop... and they won't pay 40-50$ for you to sit there as a cop, but they're willing to pay 25-30$ to have armed security with those certifications, training, ability and general good moral standing.

Tell trainees to bring their shooting safety glasses with them.

@@bwofficial1776 for sure, your police career will most likely come to an abrupt end with only one eye.🧐

That seems like a whole bunch of work to do to make a radio that is sitting on a table less useful.

@@freefieldtraining If those radios are still being used for everyday use then yeah it would be a waste of time to modify them. But if they're out of rotation and used solely for just training I think it would be a very useful modification. That table can't come with you at further distances. You're limited to a smaller area with just sitting radio on a table. With modified radios you can extend the range of your reality based scenario environment. Use multiple different rooms or even two different buildings. The radio they'd be wearing will have main channel traffic coming through it but they won't be able to accidentally transmit and say something alarming or confusing on main channel. It would make it more realistic in hearing radio traffic come radio they're wearing vs a radio sitting on a table somewhere. They'd learn to adjust volume of radio as their environment changes. The work for you will only consist of handing the radios over to radio programmer and then taking them back from them. For the programmer it's just hooking a cord to the radio and making the changes on their computer. Not really a "whole bunch of work."

@@primordialdefense5769 I see what you mean, but we are containing the scenarios to an area the instructors can be. If this were a larger ftx style training that might have value. Going to the radio man to get things changed is still more work than I want to do unless it adds value for the project.
